The Board remands the matter for further development of the record, specifically to associate all documents used in the adjudication of the Veteran's application for a 2020 clothing allowance with the electronic claims file and issue notice of the decision on the issue of entitlement to eligibility for clothing allowance benefits.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that remand is necessary due to an incomplete record, as any documents regarding the 2020 clothing allowance application have been submitted by the Veteran but not properly associated with the claims file.

What this means for you
A remand is not a loss. The Board sent the case back for more development — often a new exam or missing records — before making a final decision. Many remands later end in a grant, and the decision spells out exactly what the Board wanted to see.
